The core topic of this episode is a discussion of the disturbing confiscation of the bank accounts of an Oregon couple who refused to violate their religious beliefs and what this means for the future of religious liberty.

In this episode I discuss the very real dangers of socialism, how the purveyors of this failed ideology manipulate their followers, and why it's crucial that we speak to the next generation about its dangers.

I walk through what socialism is, what free markets are, why socialism kills, and what you need to dismantle false arguments in its defense.

In this episode I discuss some of the positive signs for our future. I discuss the economic possibilities if we were to elect a true conservative to the White House. I also address the Obama administration's executive orders and regulations which we can easily roll-back, and we can begin to put ourselves back on the path to prosperity.

In this episode I discuss the three most important battles ahead of us. First, the broken data collection program at the NSA. Second, a Federal Reserve which is destroying our economy. And third, the left's disturbing culture war and its impact on you.

The core topic of today's show is a take-down of the Obama administration's plan to coerce local government's and universities into forfeiting away control of their localities and institutions using your tax dollars.

The core topic of today's show is a discussion of the false promise of the Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign. Sanders is promising "real power" to the people but every program he has proposed involves empowering government, not the people.

The final "sticky notes" story is the stunning revelation on Capitol Hill yesterday by Obama administration officials that they do not know the locations of thousands of potential terrorists IN THE COUNTRY who had their visas revoked.

The core topic of the show is the secular progressives and their war on Christmas. I break it down and tell you why it matters to you.

In this episode I discuss the "new socialism" which hinges on heavy taxation and regulation in lieu of direct government ownership of the means of production as it relates to the Obama administration's record setting push for red-tape.

In this episode I discuss the erroneous logic of the left used to defend their position on income inequality. I also address the left's continued use of the phrase "Trickle Down Economics," despite ANY evidence that this theory actually exists. The final "stick notes" story is the Obama administration's war on the franchise model of business and the reasoning behind it.The core topic of today's show is the left's use of troubling reasoning to advocate for gun control while using the exact opposite argument to advocate for abortion.

In this episode I discuss the reasons behind the left’s attack on new business models such as Uber and AirBNB. Rep. Nancy Pelosi has called this the “gig economy.” I also address the Obama administration’s misguided lawsuits against auto-lenders while claiming that they were engaging in racist practices. But, you’ll be surprised to hear how they determined the race of the people in the lawsuit. The final “sticky notes” story is a discussion of the CDC and their push for gun control “research.”

The core topic of today’s show is the disappearing American middle-class and why President Obama has made the problem worse.

In this episode I discuss why the Secret Service is such a mess. Government-enforced bureaucratic inertia and risk-aversion, combined with an intense focus on faux-diversity measures are putting the life of the President at risk. I also address the New York Times’ hypocritical efforts to defend the Obamacare insurance company bailout program while, historically, attacking the failed TARP bailout using different language. The final “sticky notes” story is a discussion of the left’s misleading use of Keynesian economics to defend their tax and spend programs. The core topic of the show is a breakdown of Adam Gopnik’s incredibly disingenuous, and misleading, piece about gun control. Gopnik either doesn’t understand basic statistical analysis, or he does, and is lying about the data.

In this episode I discuss the misleading, media-driven, narrative that the GOP budget negotiations can “shut-down” the government. Only one person can shut down the government and that person isn’t in the Congress or the Senate. I also discuss a terrorism threat report by Sebastian Gorka which is timely and informative and a CBO report which predicts massive job losses due to Obamacare. The final “sticky-notes” topic of the show is a brief discussion of what the “strong dollar” is and why it’s important.
The core topic of today’s show is a discussion of the legality of Donald Trump’s proposal to temporarily ban all Muslims from entering the United States.

In this episode I discuss the dramatic electoral losses South American socialists have been suffering. The broken ideology of socialism only succeeds in the textbooks of far-left writers. I also address the FEC chairwoman’s new plan to regulate local elections using federal rules. President Obama’s bureaucrats will leave no stone unturned in their quest to expand government before they leave office. The final “sticky notes” story is Hillary Clinton’s proposal to levy an “exit tax” on companies choosing to combine with overseas competitors. This economically unworkable proposal will, unquestionably, cost the United States jobs.
The core topic of the show is a continued effort by the liberal intelligentsia to pin the root cause of terrorism on their definition of “inequality,” which is liberal code for “capitalism.”

In this episode I discuss the organized Left’s real agenda. When the larger narrative that drives the organized Left’s actions becomes clear, the answers to questions such “Why does President Obama refuse to speak about radical Islamic terrorism” become clear. There is a reason they do what they do, and speak how they speak, which I cover in detail in today’s episode.

In this episode I discuss the Obama administration forcing private companies to divert funds generated from lawsuits filed against them by the government to liberal groups. This is another disturbing end-around to fund the liberal agenda with your tax dollars. I also discuss another Obamacare failure where hiring an employee in the country illegally saves a company money over hiring an American citizen.

In this episode I discuss the Wall Street Journal’s Holman Jenkins’ piece about a stunning theory about radiation exposure and the dangers to human beings. I also address the Wall Street Journal’s excessive attacks on presidential candidate Ted Cruz.
The core topic of today’s show is the disturbing tactic of the media, and some on the Left, to immediately politicize a tragedy to gain a perceived political advantage. I discuss the narratives the Left is using to manipulate American citizens and how they immediately tried to use the media to tell their inconvenient narrative about the San Bernardino attacks.

In this episode I discuss the persistent myth, advanced by activists on the Left, that President Obama has been responsible for “record deportations” of illegal immigrants. I also address the economics of healthcare with respect to the market for new medicines. Some Democrats are pouncing on the high price of the Hepatitis C drug Sovaldi as evidence of a “market failure.” However, this case is really evidence of a government failure, not a “market failure.”
The core topic of today’s show is a discussion of the economics of climate change and why the most efficient path forward to a cleaner environment is a free market, not big-government, command-and-control economics.

In this episode I discuss the reasoning behind the Left’s seemingly conflicting goals of ever-increasing tax rates and then proposing legions of new tax credits. As always, the “why” matters and I explain it in this episode. I also address President Obama’s bizarre statements at the Paris climate conference on both mass shooting incidents and on the economics of climate change. The mass shootings statement was just plain inaccurate and his statement on climate change indicated an understanding of the economics of climate change but a total disconnect on the actual solutions.
